Application led .T une 8, 1914. Serial No. 843,786.1`

T0 all who-m 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, BoLEsLAw BRzozowsKI, e subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Qribs, of which the following is a specifica.- t1on.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in cribs.

The primary object of this invention is to= provide a childs crib suspended for free oscillation and operable by the turning of a crank to impart continuous uniform oscillations thereto.

A further object is to provide a framework for swingingly supporting a crib and carrying an eccentric rod motor means for the crib and with pivoted steadying rods between said frame and crib.

A stillvfurther object is to provide lnotive power for oscillating a suspended crib and whereby the attendant positioned at one end of the crib may easily impart a uniform positive movement to the crib by the turning of the crank.

lVith these general objects in view `and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel combination and arranfge` ment of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this application and wherein like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken upon line III-III of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of an end portion of the device with the gears and crank handle removed, and, Fig. 5 is a perspective View of one of the steadying rods detached and broken away. Fig. 6 is a detail horizontal sectional view taken on the line VI-VI of Fig. 4, the crank Wheel being 'shown in this view.

ed by two longitudinal brace bars 12'. Sus-- pension rods 13 are employed for mounting the crib between the uprights 11 by having their ends pivotally-connected between the legs 14 of the crib and top extensions 15 of the end uprights.

Steadying rods 16 are each provided at one end with a slot 17 receiving a bolt 18 secured beneath the crib while the opposite ends of the rods 16 are pivoted to the opposite ends of a transverse bar 19 rigidly secured transversely beneath the crib and upon the brace bars 12.

A stub-shaft 20 is journaled through one of the end uprights 11 and has a gear 21 fixed to its outer end, which gear is provided with an operating crank 22. An upright bar 23 is journaled to the inner end of the stub-shaft 2 0 and has its upper end pivoted to a. bolt 23 carried by the crib.

A longitudinal shaft 24 is journaled in the two end uprights 11 and is provided with an eccentric 25 secured to said shaft between the said uprights. The said eccentric 25 is provided with a strap 26 carrying the eccentric rod 27, the free end of which rod is pivoted to a pin 28 carried by the bar The outer end of the shaft 24 is provided with a. gear 29 rigidly-mounted thereon and in constant meshwith the stub-shaft gear 21.

From this detailed description of the device, it will be at once apparent that by turning the crank 22 at one end of the crib, that the meshing gear revolves the eccentric 25, thus reciprocating the rod 27 to actuate the bar 23, thus imparting oscillatory movement to the crib suspended upon the end uprights of the frame by means of the rods 13. The pivoted rods 16 between the transverse bar 19 and the crib and which connect to the latter at the end thereof adjacent the eccentric are serviceable in steadying the movement of the crib when actuated, although allowing its freemovement to the limit of its oscillations. The operator is enabled by turning the crank 22 to impart uni'- form and steady movements to the crib, thus 'insuring a most perfect operation thereof.

While the form of .the invention herein shown and described is what is believed to be a preferred embodiment thereof, it is nevertheless to be understood that various forms, modifications and arrangements of the parts may be had without departing from the spirit Vand scope of the invention as claimed.

What I claim as new is 1. A device of the class described, comprising a frame having end uprights, a crib,

suspending rods between said crib and uprights, a transverse bar upon said trarne beneath .said crib,` stead-ying rods pivoted between the endsof said bar and one end of said crib, and eccentric operating rods carries by said frame and connected to said 2. A device of the class described, comprising :1 frame having end uprights, a crib, suspending rods between said crib and uprghts, a. transverse bar upon said frame beneath said crib, steadying rods pvoted between the ends of said bar and one end of said crib, a stub-shaft jonrnnled in said frame,. an n right bar pivoted at one end to said stillgmes,

l shaft and pivoted at its'otber end to the crib, is

a, gear and operating crank secured to smid stub-shaft, a longitudinal shaft jonrnaled in said uprights, an eccentric secured to smid shaft, an'eccentric strapupon said eccentric.

and ai rod `secured to said strap and having 2o its free end pivoted to said upright bar.

lin testimony whereof l eiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
